My thoughts as well...there must have been a warehouse/s ceiling to floor long before it was taken off the narcotics list

If you want something in between quality, a price of 500 baht would be very reasonable. I personally just smoke pure now from Thai stick, nowadays that can be gotten from as little as 50 baht per gram too, there is good and bad.

If you were able to get it before legalization 500 baht is high. I was getting it for 250-350 per g before and its the same and even less if you want the popcorn buds.  There is no Thai stick, again if you are lucky you can get some nice Lao weed, but it has been compressed. That is generally 3000 to as you say 5000 for 100 gram blocks. 

There are a lot different places in Chiang Mai that is selling cannabis flower I noticed. I myself get my stuff from Prikpot.com. You can order online and they will deliver. Or you can go to their store and you can save somewhere around 100 - 200 baht per gram. They are located in the Star Avenue 5, left hand side. I like them because they grow their stuff and it is 100% organic. If you belong to the local Expat Club they will give you a 10% discount.

Quality seed,

5 pounds, most pro growers clone hundreds of plants from just one seed.

Choose the most expensive seed you can find, it doesn't add to a pro growers cost.

MaeJo University sold 4,000 female clone seedlings for 30bht each last week, and they made a profit.

 

Electricity,

I've got solar power, my tent has been on 16hrs/day since the weekend, hasn't cost me a dime so far.

Even without solar power, 4 units of electricity/day for 6 months (3,000bht) will grow you 20oz (560gm). 

 

Total grow costs

So the electricity costs of a premium indoor hydro grow is approx 5bht/gm.

Add the seed cost at 210bht/560gm = 0.5bht/gm

Add nutrient cost 0.5bht/gm

Total grow costs 6bht/gm plus profit and labour.

 

I'm still of the opinion 150bht/gm is a reasonable price, anything more will be profiteering after September.

Obviously the current sellers were growing illegally, so they deserve a little more at the moment for the risk they took. Surprised there is so much available at the moment, but another 3 months and the crops will all be totally legit with no excuse for the silly prices.

Nice breakdown of costs. However you didn't factor in the initial investment in equipment and maintenance. There's also bad crops and damages sometime.

Another point is that any seller can try and get as much as possible for his\her goods. If there are customers willing to pay why not? I also think that once the market saturates prices might go down a bit. All about demand and supply.

Inputting 'cannabis store' into Google Maps brings up about a dozen hits for CM.

This is such a GOOD TIP! Works well for my locale in ISSAN territory too!

Thank you!

If I added all the costs ........... which was

around 15,000bht (2x HLG240 with Quantum LEDs, Mars Hydro Tent, carbon filter, fans, pots, peat, cloner, seeds, nutrients, electricity)

and produced 560gms in a 6 month grow that would up the price to 25bht/gm.

From 25bht/gm (inc everything) to 700bht/gm is a lot of profit.

 

I'm using the same equipment again this season, nothing broke.

Still enough nutrients left for this year.

All I've bought for this year is some peat 520bht, light timer 150bht, 24 seeds from the UK 4,000bht.

 

So this years grow (assuming 500gm) will cost me 10bht/gm.

As far as I know there is no current limit on the number of plants you can legally grow. They are talking about a limit of 10 plants per household, but that's only talk, no laws yet.

But there's an easy way around that!

Is that you? You look just like my friend crazy Hank who is a glass blower in Vermont...

Are you getting the seeds online and via DHL?

Attitude seedbank UK. 

Comes in the normal post 5-10 days. 

Can you even walk around CM without getting a contact high?  Is everyone in tid dyed (died) shirts  with dreadlocks?   Is there a homeless encampment yet?   

 

Woodstock and Burning Man, 2024...........  CM will be the pot smoker's heaven soon...

 

Weed VISA coming.    

Priorities: When one complains about spending 200 THB for a cheeseburger but yet opening boasts about spending 700 THB for a gram of weed.

Good tip! Today I just inputted "cannabis", and came up with a local farm / bar in the results for my ISSAN locale.  ????

Checkout "Yellow Pug" in CM.  You can  buy some weed and Craft Beer at same place.  Although, they didn't know the % THC of the weed they sold.  Maybe you can smoke outside ... I'm not sure.

 

Had a place like this in California ... Craft Beer in the back .25 of the warehouse and Craft Weed in the front .25 ... in between they were growing the weed.

Hell, at the go-kart track in Mae Hia (which has rebranded itself as a dispensary and added '420' to their name), you can smoke in their dedicated area, and then drive the karts (at their suggestion- 'We have speedkarts for the more daring stoners').

That's convenient.  It's right next to the pharmacy I use.  I'm pretty happy with the cheap stuff.  Reminds me of the 1960s.  Now THC, but that works for me now.

To recover from the weed?

I've tried many of the dispensaries in the city (20+ at this point). Most of them sell overpriced and underwhelming weed. There's only a couple physical shops I can recommend.

 

Hybrid is pretty good if you don't mind making a drive about 5-10 mins north of Nimman.

 

Space Trees is solid if you're in Nimman, they have great prices compared to all of the neighboring shops in Nimman.

 

If you're like me though and you don't want to leave the house every time you want to pick up new stuff, ThaiTopShelf.com is a good option. They are a delivery service which deliver for free within the city of Chiang Mai. Everything I've gotten from them has been fire and they offer deals on bigger amounts.

 

Another great option is Wake n Bake in the old city near Tha Pae Gate.

If I pay the stratospheric prices, will the effect be actually enjoyable?   

 

I'm mostly getting negative effects from smoking weed.   (Severe disorientation, anxiety, mood swings and physical effects like discomfort of inhaling smoke directly into my lungs and then weirdness in my heartbeat.)

 

We're sure this is just a harmless and healthy plant right?

Don't forget the weight gain due to continuously having the 'munchies'. And let's not forget the tired red eye look.

Or just being addicted to drugs being heavily reliant on weed to sleep etc!

Anybody doing measured edibles in CM?  Had candies/brownies/etc... in the US and you could dose based just how "adjusted" you wanted to be.  Not a fan of smoking.  Thanks ahead of time.

The Craft LINE shop is having a pretty good sale through Sunday if anyone likes to order online:

Surely that's not real.

 

Why is it so cheap?

Why not?  They've been around for a while (since decriminalization began, which counts as 'a while';)), and have had some of the most highest prices since the beginning- I think they've been getting killed by the smaller growers, and they likely have a lot on hand they need to move.  I ordered a couple grams- for 680bt (with shipping) I'm not worried about the order.

 

A better question would be 'Why so expensive?' as far as their base prices go.

 

Search 'Craft Original' on Google Maps and check their flagship store, which looks pretty legit.
